In an extensive interview with Variety, director Shawn Levy and stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman discussed their upcoming film, Deadpool & Wolverine, and their journey so far in the MCU, inside out.

In an attempt to avoid the question, Shawn Levy jokingly told the team to prepare their evasive answers for future interviews. Reynolds meanwhile reiterated their 'can't-tell-nothing' attitude by saying "An echoing cough in the distance; a hawk circles.' You can throw that in there if you like”. The actors’ enigmatic response has only fueled speculation about their future in the MCU.

Recently, there has been discussion about whether blockbuster entertainment can evoke emotions. The question is how to create high stakes in a multiverse where nothing seems permanent. According to Ryan Reynolds, Deadpool 3 acknowledges this concern, recognizing that emotional stakes are not solely tied to life and death.

The Deadpool franchise is not focused on grand, universe-saving battles, Shawn Levy followed through. Instead, it is grounded in character development. Although the movie boasts an impressive spectacle, the true stakes lie in the personal struggles of Logan and Wade. The multiverse serves as a backdrop, amplifying the emotional investment in the characters' journeys.
